Vintage handmade Double Wedding Ring quilt in the classic interlocking-rings pattern, measuring approximately 90" x 75". Each ring is pieced from dozens of colourful scrap fabrics, including florals, stripes, plaids, gingham, houndstooth, paisleys and bold mid-century mod prints, set on a crisp white ground. The rings are joined with four-patch cornerstones in two shades of green and finished with a wide lime-green border. The quilt has crosshatch quilting across the white background and quilted lines along the border. The fabric mix, including novelty and op-art style prints, points to the 1960s-1970s. The quilt is in good vintage condition with bright colours overall, with a few light spots and minor discoloration on some patches consistent with age. | | *The Double Wedding Ring is one of the most beloved and technically demanding traditional quilt patterns, with its curved piecing requiring considerable skill. A circa 1930 hand quilted Double Wedding Ring quilt in full size is offered at US $485, and a vintage hand stitched and hand quilted Double Wedding Ring quilt of nearly identical size, 90" x 76", is listed at US $160. Scrap-pieced examples with a wide variety of period fabrics are especially appealing to collectors of vintage textiles.
